TODAY IS:

EARTH DAY – Unless you live under a rock, everyone knows that today is Earth Day. It is the global celebration of the third rock from the sun and all it’s glory.

This year’s Earth Day campaign is for Environmental and Climate Legacy. According to the official Earth Day website: “Environmental and climate literacy is the engine not only for creating green voters and advancing environmental and climate laws and policies but also for accelerating green technologies and jobs”.

Many people celebrate Earth Day by turning off all (or most) of their lights at dark for an hour or two but there are many more celebrations to be found. One huge event is the March for Science in Washington DC. Planting trees and avoiding the use of plastic are also encouraged.
